Daniel Peretz

[West Dean FC Legend]

I think it can be safely said that when it comes to players, their positions, their importance to the team, goalkeepers are an afterthought at Southampton Football Club.

Peretz has made a couple of decent saves and seems more vocal to the players surrounding him but frankly on naughty looking crosses and corners coming in under the bar he reminds me of........me when I played!

Just for the record that is not a good thing.

Despite his tendency to punch the ball away instead of catching, he does at least try and deal with crosses. This makes him a huge upgrade on Bazunu in my book.

I thought he delivered several good fistings. Bit of a strange game, though.  They barely got a shot on target.

Not really sure what happened for the goal.

These kind of goals are becoming more and more common. If a team crowds the six yard box and surrounds the keeper a good delivery into the right area causes mayhem. We should be practicing both defending such corners and utilising them ourselves. It's becoming increasingly difficult for even the elite keepers to get to the ball - Peretz managed to punch away a few on Sunday and I wouldn't criticise him too much for their goal.

He looks good to me. Certainly for the championship. He made some great clearances at FP and I don't feel quite as nervous when the ball is played back - the equaliser wasn't his fault it was a messy affair around. 

His drop kicks were very good too.

There seems to be a tactic now of crowding around the keeper to obstruct him to get to the ball.

It's a modern fad. It all relies upon the attackers not being given offside if they jump out of the way at the last moment. Sometimes they get away with it. 

Something needs to change. Perhaps modify the Offside Law (again) so that just being in the goal area and offside constitutes interference?

[Osvaldorama]

So nice to have a keeper that can make saves. 
 

I’ll forgive a couple of dodgy moments as he’s still rusty. 

[Sheaf Saint]

Two absolutely top drawer saves today. He reacts quickly to come out to gather through balls as well - a notable one in the first half when Stephens had been beaten. 

The most telling thing for me is that he looks confident, rather than being terrified of the ball when it comes into the box.

A proper goalkeeper at last.

[S-Clarke]

That save in the first half, top corner, was the sort of goal we've been letting in most weeks. Pertez has much better positioning and more of a spring in and strength in his wrists, basically he has the physical attributes you expect a GK to have.

Still a little bit flappy, I think he always will be - but he's a character and I think he's added some personality to our backline.

That one that hit the post, he got a touch didn’t he? Amazing save if so!

Yep. A superb stop.

So is it now safe to say that Bazunu in fact wasn’t fine at all, for the championship ? And that it was fairly piss easy to find an immediate upgrade to come straight in and be better than him right away? Who’d have thought it 

[bangkoksaint]

Bazunu was gash

We’re better with a back 4

A proper striker makes a difference 

Who’d have thought it? Imagine if our clueless management had dialled into this weeks ago……….

Well, according to ping-pong, we badly missed Baz today.

Weeks? Imagine if they'd clocked it all in 2022!

It was a brilliant save. One of the saves of the season I think.

If Baz plays today we draw 2-2. 

[Behind Enemy Lines]

If Baz plays today, we would have lost. 
 

He would have let that first shot in, then our players heads drop, and we get rolled over.

Still early days to fully judge him but it's looking positive, and following Scienza and Jander, I have no issue with SR continuing to look for gems in the German Leagues. Just less of the Downs please SR.

[Lord Duckhunter]

Baz lets those 2 in today, and there would be posters saying they were impossible to save. Today should be the end of any Baz debate…

More like 5-0 since he plays for Stoke.

He’s already shown he’s levels above Baz hasn’t he.
